Pet care experience

Mark and I both love dogs and we have many years of experience taking care of our own dogs, as well as those of family and friends. We lost our beloved pet, Lola, and miss having a playful pup around. As active retired and semi-retired individuals, we have lots of time to play with your dog, take him or her on long walks around the neighborhood, and give your dog lots of attention. Our home is pet friendly. We have no issue with dogs making themselves at home on our furniture or beds and they will be secure in our fenced yard. We know the feeling of anxiety one has when leaving a pet and we will treat and care for your dog like family.

Lely and Mark are fantastic. They took such great care of our senior dog Penny that she didn’t want to leave 😊 She got a daily walk, lots of love, and plenty of nap time in the sun. We got updates with pictures so we knew she was in great hands while we were away. Very grateful to them for taking such great care of our girl.

Lely & Mark are truly thee best. This was my first time leaving my puppers with anyone outside of family, so I was pretty nervous — but from the moment I met them, I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated with so many pictures and thoughtful messages, which meant the world to me. I could genuinely feel how much love and care they were giving Blu, and that reassurance made all the difference. I’m so grateful I found them. Highly highly recommend!!
